Firstly, let me say that I got my eager hands on the T-Mobile G1 (the first Android phone) almost as soon as it became available so I have had over 12 months experience with Android phones and apps and I have downloaded many hundreds of them from the market and elsewhere over that time. What have I learned over all this time? That Android is a very powerful and flexible mobile OS with great potential. And what about the apps? Well, apparently there are over 20,000 of them now, and whilst there are some absolute gems there's also a lot of rubbish too.
My stand out favourite apps...

I am constantly changing the apps that I have installed on my phone as new ones come out and old ones fall by the wayside, but this list is the mainstay of the apps I have installed at any one time. They're all well-used, much loved and make my life that little bit better. :-)
